Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has revealed what a night in a pub or restaurant could look like of indoor dining reopens as planned in early July. Mr Varadkar told the committee the Government "still expects" indoor dining to resume in July, adding that he hoped the disparity between indoor dining at hotels and other restaurants would only be "a couple of weeks". The issue of international travel — inward and outbound — will be discussed and decided by Government next week, the Tánaiste also told the Oireachtas Enterprise Committee. Mr Varadkar also suggested that there may come a time when Covid tests — whether antigen or PCR — are no longer needed for international travel. He commented: “We all know that there's different views on in terms of the antigen testing for international travel.
